Overview
Retooled and better than ever, the Falcon Expert Casting Rods combine cutting-edge manufacturing technology with the input of Falcon’s pro-staffers, like Jason Christie and Mike McClelland. Built upon Falcon’s advanced CrossMatch composite blanks, the Falcon Expert Casting Rods use multi-layer, cross-directional Japanese carbon fibers to boost strength, while requiring less material and resin, resulting in a superlight construction.

Comments: Falcon makes in my opinion the best rods for a fraction of the cost I've used g loomis Shimano. There great rods but super expensive. These falcon rods are really good light sensitive and durable. I've got the lowrider, expert, cara and love em all.

Comments: I have the 7' heavy and the 7'3" heavy rods. Both have exceeded my expectations for this price point. Both are very lite for there size and rating. I am very impressed at how sensitive they are. They are not nrx sensitive but I can defiantly feel what is going on on the end of the line. Over all these are a bargain for what you get. Defiantly will be picking up more.

Comments: First, I will talk about the bad. I Ordered a 7'3'' Heavy Expert. It broke two inches above the handle when I set the hook on a two pound fish. It was on the second trip I took with the rod. Now I will talk about the good. I called Falcon and sent them a picture of where the rod broke. They sent me a replacement rod immediately and I have been very happy with the new one.

Comments: I've tried lots of different rods trying to find what I like the best so I bought some Lowriders and loved them then eventually bought an expert. This is now the only rod I will buy and is the only rod I can sit on my front deck and comfortably fish for 10-12 hours

Comments: Got the 6'11" for pitching jigs. Super light and comfortable with plenty of power to spare. Very impressed with this rod at the $200 price point.
From: Neil - Kansas 7/15/20
Comments: The best rods in the $200 price range. Light, sensitive, and strong. They have actions for every technique, but several rods in the lineup can be used for multiple techniques. I have 7 of these now (6 casting and 1 spinning). My favorites are the Head Turner and Amistad, but I love every one of them. I like pitching and flipping with a slightly shorter rod and the Amistad XH is incredible for those techniques. I'm slowly replacing my entire arsenal with Experts.

Comments: I have a couple of the Falcon BuCoo rods and I've been really happy with them so I thought I'd try another Falcon rod. I ended up ordering the 6'11" that is listed for Froggin/Pitchin action and it is a beautiful rod. This thing has some major backbone and balances nicely. Quite light overall (3.9oz) I can't wait to get it on the water.
From: Stan: Louisianna 3/14/20
Comments: This rod is great. I have a few Caras and Lowriders and this is just as good if not better than the cara. Got the 6'10" heavy, spinnerbait/chatterbait model and it has the perfect action for the application. Plenty of backbone to haul big fish out of the grass. Definitely plan on buying more soon.
From: Charlie: Arkansas 3/12/20
Comments: Just got my first experts in and I can't believe you could improve on the Cara and they did it! I've used loomis and several other really high end rods and even at 2-3 time the price of this one the expert is the most balanced,sensitive,light rod I've used! Go ahead and buy a few, because once you fish with it you will want to replace all your rods!
